I'm pretty sad and disappointed - feel like I really blew it. Should I just leave it now or try to fix them? Also - Botox which has never been a problem seems to make them even worse!

Answer: Left upper eyelid ptosis Ptosis or lid drooping was present on your before pictures from 2016. It is a weakness of the eyelid muscle, under the skin, which helps to raise the eyelid. To improve on your condition, I would recommend repairing this muscle and that entails making appointment for a consultation with a Facial Plastic, Plastic, or Oculoplastic surgeon who has plenty of experience with this issue. Best of luck!

Answer: When your lids cover your pupils as your did pre-op, and throw in a wide upper crease, it shouts ptosis and requires more than just a skin excision. You can get a more alert look by first getting a visual field exam and if you have obscured visual fields, your insurance will help cover the ptosis procedure where your lids are elevated with sutures. If your surgeon is a boarded plastic or oculoplastic surgeon, you should be able to go back with your concerns armed with the opinions you received here.
